Helping to restore the natural balance of body and mind and increase self-awareness

Ayurveda, including meditation and yoga have been central to the way of life of the people who own and Manage Barberyn Resorts.

Traditional customs are preserved at the resort and guests are free to participate if they wish. The resort also organizes visits to temples, churches and mosques and guests can borrow from the owners' collection of books and audio/ video material on the profound aspects of life on a range of subjects including "Self Knowledge".

Experienced teachers conduct meditation sessions and periodically. Two main meditative approaches are offered:

• Breathing-oriented meditation (such as Buddhist Satipatthana-Vipassana), which helps to open a new perceptual channel in the mind and strengthen self-awareness.
• Loving-kindness meditation (known in Sri Lanka as metta) which, as the name suggests, promotes kindness and compassion towards oneself and others.

Of course, attendance is purely voluntary. These activities are provided for the benefit of interested guests-to satisfy their intellectual curiosity and to enhance their knowledge and experience
